The Redskins have been a highly competitive team over the past five games, beating the Broncos and Raiders by double digits and losing to the Cowboys, Eagles and Saints (who have a combined 30-9 record) by a combined seven points. They have done it with a burgeoning offense and a defense led by rookie LB-DE Brian Orakpo, who has 11 sacks. Four of those came Sunday — his first four-sack game ever, be believes — against the Raiders in the most dominant performance of his young career.
